Inigo Gilmore – Ref. 7356

The 20082009 IsraelGaza conflict, part of the ongoing IsraeliPalestinian conflict, started when Israel launched a military campaign in the Gaza Strip on December 27 2008, codenamed Operation Cast Lead (Hebrew: מבצע עופרת יצוקה‎. The operation's aim was to stop Hamas attacks on southern Israel, and it included the targeting of Hamas' members, police force, and infrastructure.[17] In the Arab World, the conflict has been described as the Gaza Massacre
A fragile six-month truce between Hamas and Israel expired on December 19, 2008.Hamas and Israel could not agree on conditions to extend the truce.Hamas blamed Israel for not lifting the Gaza Strip blockade, and for an Israeli raid on a purported tunnel crossing the border into Israel from Gaza Strip on November 4, which it held constituted a serious breach of the truce.Israel accuses Hamas of violating the truce citing the frequent rocket and mortar attacks on Israel cities.
The Israeli operation began with an intense bombardment of the Gaza Strip, targeting Hamas bases, police training camps, police headquarters and offices.Civilian infrastructure, including mosques, houses and schools, were also attacked. Israel said many of these buildings stocked weapons.Hamas intensified its rocket and mortar attacks against targets in Israel throughout the conflict, hitting previously untargeted cities as Beersheba and Ashdod.On January 3, 2009, the Israeli Defence Forces ground invasion began.
International reactions during the conflict have included calls for an immediate ceasefire as in the United Nations Security Council Resolution1860, and concern about the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip and the hindrances in delivering aid. Human rights groups and aid organisations have accused Hamas and Israel of war crimes and called for independent investigations and lawsuits.
It is estimated that 1,200 or more Palestinians and 13 Israelis died in the conflict. The number of combatant and non-combatant casualties is a subject of ongoing contention.[39] Casualty figures have been difficult to verify due to the limited amount of journalists allowed in Gaza during the conflict. In the days following the ceasefire, the BBC reported that more than 400,000 Gazans were left without running water.[40] The BBC further reported that 4000 homes had been ruined, leaving tens of thousands of people homeless.
The conflict came to an end on January 18 after first Israel and then Hamas announced unilateral ceasefires.On January 21, Israel completed its withdrawal from the Gaza Strip. On 2 March, it was reported that international donors had pledged $4.5 billion in aid for the Palestinians, mainly for rebuilding Gaza after Israel's offensive.

As fighting in Gaza continues between Israeli forces and Hamas militants, users of Instagram and Facebook are getting creative. A campaign on Instagram voices support for the Palestinians with users from around the world taking photos of the hashtag #IStandWithPalestine scribbled on hands holding their passport. Gramfeed, a website for viewing Instagram photos, shows more than 4,000 results under that hashtag — many, however, aren't of the passport meme. In Israel, meanwhile, a very different campaign has gotten underway. A Facebook page was created on Thursday for Israeli women to show their support of the Israeli Defense Forces as the military is known — by posting erotic selfies. Many of the photos show women with "I [heart] IDF" written somewhere on their bodies.

The West Wing (season 5)

The fifth season of the American political drama television series The West Wing aired in the United States on NBC from September 24, 2003, to May 19, 2004, and consisted of 22 episodes. This was the first season with executive producer John Wells as showrunner after series creator Aaron Sorkin departed the series after the conclusion of the previous season.

Cast

The fifth season had star billing for nine major roles, all nine of these were filled by returning main cast members from the fourth season. Martin Sheen receives the "and" credit for his role as President Josiah Bartlet. The rest of the ensemble are credited alphabetically, while Channing is only credited for the episodes in which she appears

Gaza Empire

The Gaza Empire (1824–1895) was an African empire established by the powerful general Soshangane and was located in southeastern Africa in the area of southern Mozambique and southeastern Zimbabwe, as well as parts of South Africa (sections of Mpumalanga and Limpopo provinces). The Gaza Empire, at its height in the 1860s, covered all of Mozambique between the Zambezi and Limpopo rivers.

History

In the 1820s, during a period of severe drought, after the abolition of slavery caused the Great Trek, Nguni armies, Southern (Xhosa) and especially Northern Nguni (Zulu, Swazi, Shangani, Gaza, Matabele or Ndebele, and Ngoni) people who speak related Bantu languages and inhabit southeast Africa from Cape Province to southern Mozambique, began to migrate to Mozambique from what is now South Africa. One Nguni chief, Nxaba, established a short-lived kingdom inland from Sofala, but in 1837 he was defeated by Soshangane, a powerful Nguni rival. Eventually Soshangane established his capital in the highlands of the middle Sabi River in what is present day Zimbabwe. Soshangane named his empire "Gaza" after his grandfather.

Gaza Strip

The Gaza Strip (/ˈɡɑːzəˈstrɪp/;Arabic:قطاع غزة‎Qiṭāʿ Ġazzah[qɪˈtˤɑːʕ ˈɣazza]), or simply Gaza, is a
small self-governing Palestinian territory on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, that borders Egypt on the southwest for 11 kilometers (6.8mi) and Israel on the east and north along a 51km (32mi) border. Gaza, together with the West Bank, comprise the Palestinian territories claimed by the Palestinians as the future sovereign State of Palestine. The territories of Gaza and the West Bank are separated from each other by the territory of Israel. Both fall under the jurisdiction of the Palestinian Authority, but Gaza has since June 2007 been governed by Hamas, a Palestinian Islamic organization which came to power in free elections in 2006. It has been placed under an Israeli and U.S.-led international economic and political boycott from that time onwards.

The territory is 41 kilometers (25mi) long, and from 6 to 12 kilometers (3.7 to 7.5mi) wide, with a total area of 365 square kilometers (141sqmi). With around 1.85 million Palestinians on some 362 square kilometers, Gaza ranks as the 6th most densely populated polity in the world. An extensive Israeli buffer zone within the Strip renders much land off-limits to Gaza's Palestinians. Gaza has an annual population growth rate of 2.91% (2014 est.), the 13th highest in the world, and is often referred to as overcrowded. Due to the Israeli–Egyptian blockade, the population is not free to leave or enter the Gaza Strip, nor allowed to freely import or export goods. Sunni Muslims make up the predominant part of the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip.

Gaza Strip (film)

The film focuses on 13-year-old Mohammed Hejazi, a second-grade dropout the filmmaker encountered at the Karni crossing in the Gaza Strip, where Palestinian children often gather to throw stones. The director has made this film available for free online streaming on the official site, below.
